Is ponder still the future? looked good at times but struggled mightily as well. What do you think - they'll give him one more year?

They have to, what alternative is there really? The Vikings will be picking in that dreaded 15-18 range, there usually arent QBs taken in that spot and it doesnt seem like a good class.

In most years, I'd agree with you. But the latest projections are that Barkley and Smith will fall to the middle of the 1st round. Will be very interesting to see how strong their commitment is to Ponder if one or both of those guys are sitting on the board when the Vikes' pick comes up._________________

What ankle sprang takes over half a season to heal? Something is fishy here. I have a feeling that harvin has played his last game in purple. Well, unless the ravens are the team that trades for him._________________

High Ankle sprain, it is possible, and let's not forget when he sprained he was also dealing with hip issues. There has been nothing to suggest as of late that he and the team are at odds. Could he have played the last two weeks of the season if they hadn't IR'ed him, very possible, probably more of a move to grab extra roster space for another WR and not risk more injury to Harvin as the team wasn't really ever all that much in the playoff push, the first half of the schedule was always known as easy._________________

Yeah, Vikings have already beat most peoples win projections by 3. With that said, this sucks in terms of development and evaluating Ponder. Harvin is probably one of two WR's (maybe 3) on the Vikings who deserve to be on an NFL roster, and the other two Jarius Wright and Jerome Simpson should be #4 & #5 at best on an NFL roster.

He'll still be here next year. He's not the future though. A year from now we will still be talking about quarterbacks in the upcoming 2013 draft. That's when you panic and take a player based on need rather than taking BPA._________________

Percy is probably my favorite player in the NFL that's not a Falcon, and loved him from his first days at Florida, even as a Bulldog.

Percy, for whatever reason, is seemingly becoming one of the most injury prone players I'm the entire NFL.. which is truly sad because when the kid is healthy, he is arguably one of if not the best in the league when he's got his hands on the ball, whether it coming from catching the ball, getting the ball via a hand-off, and especially when he's returning a punt or a kickoff... His agility, quickness, explosiveness, and speed make him one of the most athletic players in the NFL as well.. and when he is healthy, that Vikings team is so much better by having him on the offense, or making big plays via special teams. The Vikings with or without Percy is literally like a night and day different. I just wish the kid didn't end up getting hurt one way or another so often.. and ill never understand why some people are so injury prone compared to others...

I don't want to see Percy go down as one of those "what ifs" for hoe great he could have been if the injuries just continue to set him back year after year after year. I hope he can somehow figure out how to keep his body at full strength and injury free.. because if he can do that, we will be seeing an amazing football player for many more years to come.._________________

Hasn't he only missed like 3 games in 3 years before this?

Yes before this year he had only missed 3 games. I don't know where people get this injury prone stuff.

FYI: Hasn't had a migraine since 2010. It was discovered that sleep apnea was causing the migraines.
